Larry Wachowski Looks Womanly

Larry Wachowski at premiere of Matrix Revolutions; Photo - Jeffrey Wells

With the release of Matrix Revolutions this week, Gothamist spied this photograph of Larry Wachowski taken by movie columnist Jeffrey Wells at the premiere the other week. Now, after we looked at his rumored interest in getting a sex change, we can't help but think Wachowski does seem like that matronly Algebra II teacher we had in high school (Alan Horn, Warner Bros. CEO, is on the right).

The Smoking Gun's document of the day is Larry Wachowski's attempt to secure his fortune from his estranged wife.

Only tangentially related but highly hilarious: lowculture on the "Olympics of Beards" - oh, yes, you can taste the punchline, can't you?

    It's my understanding that Larry is a crossdresser but not necessarily a TG. Alot of straight men are.

    I think it doesn't matter if he looks womanly or not. His name is known all over the world due to his creature, that exactly shows that it was born due to a man's mind.

    Ok for those who don't know. Larry has changed his name to Linda and has finished a long and drawn out sex change. She is quitting film, cause her psych told her to.

    Personally, as an out and out lesbian, I looked at this pic and thought "hes not that womanly, maybe a little gay looking, but the hot babe next to him is coooo oh wow".



    If Larry is planning surgery and all the rest then all the best to her. My god if (s)he can get that reaction out of me then (s)he deserves it :)



    His/her films werent half bad either.

  • That's nothing. I heard that he left his wife for a dominatrix. The greatest artists always seem to have the oddest sexualities.

  • Kate

    It's good to see so many positive comments on L. Wachowski's probable sex change. I always wondered why the writing on BOUND was so insightful and the characters so fully drawn...

    Wow, i have really learned a lot about this subject...but what does SRS and FFS mean?



    ps i think he looks better as a gurl

  • Interesting article I bumped into!



    Indeed, I need to admit, that L. Wachowski

    does look pretty much more feminine than what

    I would expect from a crossdresser (that basically is a male than likes to wear a dress occasionally).



    I am a post-op (both SRS and FFS) male to female transsexual

    by myself, and I find it interesting to

    see what happens with this case. I am of course a bit sceptical since gender dysphoria is quite rare and crossdressers and transvestites are much more common,

    but despite what have been discussed, actually,

    the face looks like a result of at least some amount of electrolysis and/or lasering

    (currently the only proven

    permanent hair removal methods available).



    Another notable thing is the jaw. Does it

    have been always like that? It reminds me

    of the work of Dr. Douglas Ousterhout,

    actually.

    And wasn't the hair previously

    more recessed? I would like to see

    other pics, if there would be signs of

    scalp advancement / hair transplants. Also

    the chin looks a bit different than what

    did I expect to see from a male. These changes

    don't happen to happen

    without changes to facial bones,

    I know it because I have had FFS at Dr. Suporn,

    that is a part of transsexual gender correction

    treatment. I don't see however, any strong evidence in these pics, but at least some signs of that perhaps L. Wachowski is more than just a crossdresser. But still, there was Larry Wachowski on the end texts of Matrix Revolutions. When I was in a early stage in the transition, I used only initials when name was needed. I wanted to avoid writing my name and I suppose that if L. Wachowski is a TS, then perhaps there could have been a some kind of sign in the end titles of Matrix 3, but there wasn't, so this speaks against the observations I wrote above.



    Best Wishes,

    Katriina

    Hey, I've never seen the Matrix, and wasn't the least bit interested in doing so.



    Until now that I've found out one of it's creators is a big drag queen like me!!

    There's a lot of terrible half-information floating around out there in connection with this gossip, including in Wired magazine... Larry Wachowski could be taking hormones without wanting an operation, could be more than "just a crossdresser" even without taking hormones, etc. What's apparent from the pictures is that he has grown his hair longer, is wearing more feminine clothing & accessories in public, is plucking his eyebrows, and has either had some kind of facial hair removal or is using a lot of foundation. A lot of this would be unusual for cross-dressers, who are usually defined by their split lives -- like, they look like men most of the time but occasionally dress up like ladies (often in ultra-feminine style). Larry Wachowski's mode of dress & presentation is much more like someone planning to live full-time as a woman (regardless of whether there are hormones, surgery, etc involved) which would make him transgendered, or a transsexual. (Trust me - I have seen this dozens of times.) It's impossible to tell from the pictures whether he's on hormones, but his face does look a little fuller in the cheeks.

    I didn't mean to come across as 'strident' or anything, but upon re-reading my post realized it may have come across that way.



    I should have added that the gist of your post (that whatever is up with Larry Wachowski, it isn't nearly as creepy as what Polanski did).



    Sorry, Jen.

  • Jen

    Exactly - there you go.

  • Mase

    Roman Polanski did more than have sex with a 14 year old. He drugged her before hand and raped her.

  • Lux

    According to Wired, Wachowski's just a transvestite. He has no interest in getting snipped, as it were.

  • Jen

    I think you can be a Matrix fan AND be okay with Larry Wachowski's sex change/fashion choices. It's just momentarily flummoxing. It's not as creepy as Roman Polanski having sex with a 14 year old girl, that's for sure.

  • RIO

    okay, screw it, as big a matrix fan as I am, I must admit that dude looks like he has changed into a woman. I guess we know where the first major transexual blockbuster film is coming from. should be pretty cool!
